I have gathered some data which can be helpfull.

First lspci.txt is the lspci output in this system.
Second xorg.conf is the configuration file for X that is in use.
Third two files output during the 'good' run (telinit 5):
        by X, Xorg.0.log
        by gdm, gdm:0.log
Forth two same files output during the 'bad' run:
        by X, Xorg.0.log.old
        by gdm, gdm:0.log.1

As you will see there is no error (EE) lines in the X logs. Everything
seems to work fine, but screen stays black or fuzzy with no cursor.

The driver used is Vesa.

As you asked me I have tried Ubuntu 9.04 but it fails also. Initially
the desktop is drawn correctly, but the cursor is an absurd squared
image broken by transparent vertical lines, much larger than the normal
cursor. And if I click on Firefox icon, than all the screen gets fuzzy
and no way to recover even with Ctrl+Alt+F1.

So I have kept the old version, that I use with my telinit 5 system for
now. All other computers I use have different processors or chipsets. My
feeling is that the Via chipset is not well handled in the normal
startup, but with my trick, it works fine... Why?

Recovery start+telinit 5 is the only way to start correctly
